A long night ahead, I fear br With all these demons br Racing about and br Screeching in my head br br All those broken moments br That were strung together br All those wasted tears, wasted kisses br All those stolen dreams and br Decimated wishes br Conspire against me br Time and again br br Every moment moves me br In directions I cannot know br Just like br Every heartbeat beats me br For every single crime br br Cracks in the bathroom mirror br Hide lines on my face br Just like br This stormy afternoon br Concealed br The betrayal of my pain br As I smiled through these tears and br Struggled to maintain br Until I some time later br When I can retire br To the discomfort of my bed br Where the fear always finds me br And the anger always follows br br © 2008 Raymond J Wrightbr br Raymond J Wrightbr br
